Guest accommodation in Berlin

The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Theatre offers a stay in a guest accommodation in Berlin for professional artists in theatre who reside in Sweden and/or have their main artistic activity in Sweden. The grant holder will get access to housing and a grant to cover travel and living expenses during their stay. The purpose of these residencies abroad is to support artists' opportunities to create, develop and nurture their contacts outside Sweden. Berlin offers fantastic opportunities to access vibrant theatre and cultural life. The stay can be designed according to individual needs, and provides a space for an intensive work period, to nurture contacts, or for collaborations with colleagues or other actors in the city. The accommodation is a 2-room apartment located in Kreuzberg on the 4th floor without a lift, featuring a spiral staircase. Two people working together can apply, each submitting their own application and sharing the apartment.

Project Grant - Theatre

The Project Grant for Theatre supports projects that promote artistic development for professional theatre artists in Sweden. The grant is intended for clearly formulated projects with defined start and end dates. Eligible applicants include practicing artists such as actors, directors, mimes, musical artists, performance artists, clowns, scenographers, lighting designers, mask designers, costume designers, sound designers, puppeteers, or playwrights. The funding can support small performing arts productions, workshops to try out new ways of working, develop new techniques, or establish new collaborations. The grant covers project-related costs such as salaries for participants, materials, premises rental, or travel expenses. Applicants must be professional artists who earn a living entirely or partly from their artistic activities and regularly present their art to an audience or in an artistic context.
